Jo Strømgren's PHEROMONES one-act play

Pheromones is a quasi-philosophical love melodrama with an exciting opening, with a wonderful middle and a stunning ending. It is credible as a scientific thesis, but at the same time intelligent as one of the paintings of Picasso's good times. Why sit at home and read an encyclopedia when you can get all the answers to your questions from one single performance? Many people travel to Paris in search of romantic experiences, but after this performance, it is more likely that they will start traveling to Panevėžys. Don't forget to book your tickets half a year in advance. Single people are also welcome.

This production is an attempt to revive the "photo drama" genre, which was popular in women's magazines before the Internet era. rubric. These stories, with their extremely conservative yet seductive content, may have represented the height of melodrama in Western culture. The genre died out for good reasons, but perhaps it deserves to be resurrected? The melodramatic ghost is back, playing out in our everyday lives and public conversations, repeating its mantra "lots of feeling but little substance".
